   NORTH PHILADELPHIA -- Officials said a 7-year-old boy has died   
   after falling between two cars on SEPTA's Broad Street Line   
   Sunday.   
      
   The incident occurred on a southbound train that was traveling   
   near the North Philadelphia Station.   
      
   Witnesses told Action News two kids and a man were selling candy   
   in between the subway cars when one of the boys slipped through   
   as the train was moving.   
   Medics pronounced the child dead just after 6 p.m.   
      
   SEPTA shut down the Broad Street Line between Erie and Girard   
   Stations while officials investigated the incident.   
      
   Emotional passengers made their way out of the North   
   Philadelphia station Sunday night after being stuck on the train   
   where the incident occurred.   
      
   "He dropped all his candy all over the place inside the train,   
   as he picked the candy up he went through the doors to go   
   through the next train," said Douglas Spencer of West   
   Philadelphia. "There were people crying, people that wanted to   
   help him, but there wasn't much they could do besides jump down."   
      
   Officials said the boy was with his 11-year-old brother and a 26-   
   year-old man at the time of his death, but not his parents.   
      
   Family members wept on the sidewalk as they learned the news of   
   the child's death.   
      
   "The adult that was with him should have done better. SEPTA   
   needs to do better," said one family member. "Put a gate up. Put   
   a gate up."
